The document discusses the story of Henrietta Lacks and the HeLa cells derived from her cervical cancer without her consent in 1951. Her cells were highly valuable in medical research but she and her family received no compensation or acknowledgement. While HeLa cells have contributed greatly to scientific advances like the polio vaccine, Henrietta was an uninformed patient who did not understand or consent to her cells being used commercially. Her family believes they deserve recognition and compensation for Henrietta's significant cell donation to science.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, an African American woman whose cancer cells were harvested without her consent in 1951 and went on to become the first human cells to be successfully cloned. The book uses a braided narrative structure to tell the intertwining stories of Henrietta's life, the scientific discoveries made using her HeLa cells, and the experience of her family. Key issues addressed include medical ethics, informed consent, and the impact of racism in Henrietta's treatment and the use of her cells.
Cancer project on hela cells
Henrietta Lacks was a woman who died of cervical cancer in the 1950s, but her cancer cells, known as HeLa cells, continue to live and be used in research labs around the world. The document assigns a project to research and report on the life of Henrietta Lacks, the use of her HeLa cells in cancer research, accomplishments made using the cells, and the controversy surrounding their use without initial consent. The report must include the requested points and a bibliography.
HeLa Discussion Questions (Spring 2013)
This document contains discussion questions about the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" for a literature class. There are 7 questions that prompt students to analyze themes in the book like individualism, the inclusion of the author as a character, how narratives are imposed on real people's lives, the role of spirituality, poetry as self-expression, relationships between characters, and the future role of healthcare in American identity. The questions compare concepts in the book to other works studied over the semester.
Themes: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
The document discusses themes that emerge from The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Specifically, it addresses how themes are expressed as complete sentences in a generic and third-person manner without direct references to the text. An example theme provided is the conflict between individual rights and scientific inquiry as seen in the book through the use of Henrietta Lacks' cells without her family's consent and the benefits gained by medical science from her cells.
The immortal life of henrietta lacks
Scientists conducted many experiments with HeLa cells, including sending them to space where they grew more powerful with each trip. A scientist tried using the cells to treat wounds but they became cancerous. In 1965, scientists fused HeLa cells with mouse and chicken cells, creating hybrids that could reproduce. This led to controversy over mixing human and animal cells. Henrietta Lacks' family was both positively and negatively impacted by the success of her cells, with one son converting to Islam in prison after fatally stabbing a neighborhood bully.
HeLa cells
HeLa cells were originally taken from Henrietta Lacks in 1951 and have since been used extensively in cancer research and other areas of science. Some key uses of HeLa cells include developing the polio vaccine in 1955, contributing to over 60,000 scientific papers, and recent studies on the end replication problem that provides information about cancer. HeLa cells continue to be widely used in laboratories around the world for research in various areas like virology, genetics, stem cells, and developing cancer treatments.
Hela cell lines
This document discusses the HeLa cell line, which was derived from cancerous cervical tumor cells taken from Henrietta Lacks in 1951 without her consent. Her cells were the first immortalized human cell line and were a major breakthrough as they could be kept alive and proliferate in laboratory cultures. This enabled numerous scientific milestones and advances, including the development of the polio vaccine. HeLa cells have since been extensively used in medical research, with over 20 tons of the cells grown and 11,000 patents involving them. However, Henrietta Lacks' family did not learn about her immortalized cells being used for research until the 1970s, raising ethical issues around informed consent and commercialization of human cells.
HeLa: Moral, Ethical and Legal questions
This document discusses the legal, ethical, and moral issues surrounding the use of HeLa cells, which were taken from Henrietta Lacks without her consent in 1951 and were instrumental in scientific advances but also raised questions about informed consent and the commercialization of human genetic material. It defines moral, ethical, and legal standards and their development and consequences. It examines specific moral issues like whether human genetic material can be cloned or combined cross-species and what obligations we have to society to allow our bodies to be used medically. Ethical issues discussed include obtaining informed consent, protecting patient anonymity, and corporations patenting human genetic material. Legal issues addressed cover ownership of body parts, legal privacy standards, patenting genetic information, and ensuring laws

First International War Crimes.docx
The document discusses the history of medical ethics and views of the medical community from the 1950s to today. It describes how the Lacks family and general public distrusted doctors in the 1950s due to the unethical harvesting of Henrietta Lack's cells without her consent. The Nuremberg Code established ethical guidelines for human experimentation, but these were not always followed. Today, laws like informed consent and institutional review boards help protect research participants following scandals that eroded trust in the medical community in the past.

1) The document summarizes key aspects of the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" about a woman whose cancer cells were taken without her consent and used to create the first immortal human cell line.
2) It discusses the debate around patient rights versus medical advancement and how slowly laws developed to protect patients.
3) It also describes the impact on Henrietta Lacks' family who did not understand what happened to her cells for decades and how her cells were taken at a time of racial inequality in medicine.
Inequality and injustice in healthcare
This document summarizes the key issues discussed in the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" regarding inequality and injustice in healthcare. It discusses how Henrietta Lacks' cervical cancer cells (called HeLa cells) were taken without her consent and used widely in medical research, providing many benefits but at the expense of her and her family's rights and well-being. The document also outlines historical disparities in healthcare access and treatment between white and black Americans like Henrietta Lacks, as well as ongoing issues with lack of informed consent, exploitation of vulnerable populations, and prioritization of research advances over patient privacy and dignity.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks- Consent Denied”In the s.docx
“The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks- Consent Denied”
In the second month of 1951, Henrietta Lacks lay unconscious at the operating table at Johns Hopkins Hospital, her feet in stirrups. The 31 year old black woman had travelled 20 miles to the hospital to get treated, for cervical cancer; Johns Hopkins was the only major hospital that treated black patients. However, as she lay unconscious, two dime sized pieces of tissue from her cervix were taken; without her consent, and without her knowledge. Henrietta Lacks’ tissues should have died, just like all other human tissues, but they did not; they survived and multiplied. They were the first ever immortal human cells. No one informed Henrietta Lacks, and her family learnt of her cells immortality much later. Henrietta Lacks cells revolutionized medicine, but her name was not credited to the cells for nearly twenty years. “HeLa” cells as they were named changed medicine, being used to develop cancer drugs, honing experimental standards and even offering basis for studying cellular processes. Her family not only knew of the cell’s existence, but “. . . the general public knew nothing of HeLa.” (46). So, one central theme glimpsed from The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot is that of informed consent. Henrietta Lacks’ cells not only achieved immortality, but they revolutionized medicine, managing to save countless lives yet consent from Henrietta was denied, and her family too was kept in the dark over the remarkableness of the “HeLa” cells.
“But first—though no one had told Henrietta that TeLinde was collecting samples or asked if she wanted to be a donor—Wharton picked up a sharp knife and shaved two dime-sized pieces of tissue from Henrietta’s cervix: one from her tumor and one from the healthy cervical tissue nearby” (28). This is how the amazing journey of the “HeLa” cells started. The owner of the cells, was unconscious at the hospital, and the only consent she had given doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital, was “. . . to perform any operative procedures and under any anaesthetic either local or general that they may deem necessary in the proper surgical care and treatment of cervical cancer” (27). Even after the surgery no one informed Henrietta or her family that her cells had been harvested, and gone on to become the world’s first immortal human cells. This was not only a breach of trust from patient to doctor, but it also shows the degree of respect that black patients were accorded at the time. A level so low that asking for consent to harvest cells was deemed too menial, and even later on, informing the donor or the family of the success of “HeLa” cells was also deemed unimportant.
Skloot’s description of Henrietta as a wife and mother, are that of a woman who loves what she is and does; she has accepted her life. This comes out clearly with the descriptions Henrietta is given by the author “. . . Henrietta spent her time cooking for Day the children and whicheve ...
Bioethics final answers
This document discusses several topics in ethics and philosophy. It explains that ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics address topics also studied in fields like psychology, political science, sociology, and anthropology. However, philosophy searches for reasons why people think about such topics in different ways, the personal or social causes of these differences, and ways to question established ways of thinking. The document also distinguishes between law, which regulates behavior, and ethics, which determines rules for resolving conflicts in both beliefs and actions based on those beliefs.

Rebecca Skloot’s Obtained Consent in Medical Research and ‘Free Choice’ Consent
Each year in the United States, around 2.3 million patients sign consent forms in order to participate in government and industry-sponsored clinical trials, with many more participating in research at academic health centers and hospitals (Cohn & Larson 273). The Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, also known as the Common Rule, requires informed consent for all human-subject research. But, in reality, this does not happen because a huge number of tissue research are not federally funded, and the research is also never considered research on humans since researchers never get to meet donors firsthand (Skloot 231). Henrietta Lacks gifted ...

Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science - By David H. Freedman
The Atlantic, Nov 2010 Copyright © 2010 by The Atlantic Monthly Group. All Rights Reserved.
Much of what medical researchers
conclude in their studies is misleading,
exaggerated, or flat-out wrong. So why
are doctors—to a striking extent—still
drawing upon misinformation in their
everyday practice? Dr. John Ioannidis has
spent his career challenging his peers by
exposing their bad science.
IN 2001, RUMORS were circulating in Greek hospitals that surgery residents, eager to rack up scalpel time,
were falsely diagnosing hapless Albanian immigrants with appendicitis. At the University of Ioannina
medical school’s teaching hospital, a newly minted doctor named Athina Tatsioni was discussing the rumors
with colleagues when a professor who had overheard asked her if she’d like to try to prove whether they
were true—he seemed to be almost daring her. She accepted the challenge and, with the professor’s and
other colleagues’ help, eventually produced a formal study showing that, for whatever reason, the appendices
removed from patients with Albanian names in six Greek hospitals were more than three times as likely to be
perfectly healthy as those removed from patients with Greek names. “It was hard to find a journal willing to
publish it, but we did,” recalls Tatsioni. “I also discovered that I really liked research.” Good thing, because
the study had actually been a sort of audition. The professor, it turned out, had been putting together a team
of exceptionally brash and curious young clinicians and Ph.D.s to join him in tackling an unusual and
controversial agenda.
Last spring, I sat in on one of the team’s weekly meetings on the medical school’s campus, which is plunked
crazily across a series of sharp hills. The building in which we met, like most at the school, had the look of a
barracks and was festooned with political graffiti. But the group convened in a spacious conference room
that would have been at home at a Silicon Valley start-up. Sprawled around a large table were Tatsioni and
eight other youngish Greek researchers and physicians who, in contrast to the pasty younge ...

The author discusses the history of organ transplants and different types of transplant procedures. There is a shortage of organ donors, with over 100,000 people in the US on waiting lists. One organ donor can save up to 8 lives. The author urges readers to become organ donors to help save lives.
Law 483 euthanasia 1
The document outlines several arguments against legalizing euthanasia. It argues that euthanasia would not be limited to terminally ill patients and the definition of terminal illness is unclear. It could also become a means of health care cost containment. Additionally, euthanasia could become non-voluntary as people feel pressure from medical costs and being a burden. The document rejects euthanasia as it undermines the value of human life.

The document outlines several arguments against legalizing euthanasia. It argues that euthanasia would not only be offered to terminally ill patients, but could extend to those with chronic illnesses or disabilities. It could also become a means of reducing healthcare costs. Once legalized, euthanasia may become non-voluntary as people feel pressure to choose death. Legal euthanasia could reject the value and importance placed on human life.

the study had actually been a sort of audition. The professor, it turned out, had been putting together a team
of exceptionally brash and curious young clinicians and Ph.D.s to join him in tackling an unusual and
controversial agenda.
Last spring, I sat in on one of the team’s weekly meetings on the medical school’s campus, which is plunked
crazily across a series of sharp hills. The building in which we met, like most at the school, had the look of a
barracks and was festooned with political graffiti. But the group convened in a spacious conference room

Law 483 euthanasia 1
The document outlines several arguments against legalizing euthanasia. It argues that euthanasia would not be limited to terminally ill patients and the definition of terminal illness is unclear. It could also become a means of health care cost containment. Additionally, euthanasia could become non-voluntary as people feel pressure from medical costs and being a burden. The document rejects euthanasia as it undermines the value of human life.

The document outlines several arguments against legalizing euthanasia. It argues that euthanasia would not only be offered to terminally ill patients, but could extend to those with chronic illnesses or disabilities. It could also become a means of reducing healthcare costs. Once legalized, euthanasia may become non-voluntary as people feel pressure to choose death. Legal euthanasia could reject the value and importance placed on human life.
